-Housekeepers, it appears, are confront
ed with the prospect ola scarcity of coal this
winter. This means, of course. much higher
prices. The dearth of coal is not because the
supply is short or that not enough has been
mined, but proceeds from the fact that the
railroad companies have not cars enough to
transport it from the mines as rapidly as it
is needed. 1t is suggested, and there seems
to be reason for the suggestion, that the
mining and railroad companies have come to
10 an understanding in the matter in order to
increase the profits on COAL If this be so il
would seem to call for legislation by Con-
gress to protect the people of tue country.

CHURCH MATTERs,-On Sunday of this week
Advent Sunday, the Church's year began, that
be ing the nearest Sunday to st. Andrews Day
the Both of November, which regulates the com.
mencement of the ecclesiastical year. The first
Sunday in Advent fell this year on the 9th of
November, the earliest possible date on which
it can occur, it being always the Sunday near
est to St. Andrews Day, whether before or
after, the latter is thus sometimes the first and
sometimes the last festival in the Christian
Year. The Church of England has for many
years set apart st. Andrews Eve as time for
special intercession for missions. The House
Of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church
in its recent meetings recommended that the
custom be observed in this country, and in &C.
cordance with this recommendation, special
services were held on Tue sday last in most of
the Episcopal churches throughout the coun-
try.
St. Andrew was the son of Jonas u fisherman
in Bethsaida, in Galiee. He was one of the
two disciples OF John Baptist TO whotn the lat.
ter exclaimed as he saw Jesus pass by, "Behold
the Lamb of Cod" and who Immediately fol-
lowed Jesus. Thereafter Andrew went in quest
of his own brother Simon Peter and brought
him to Christ. His name is not mentioned in
the New Testament after the ascension of our
Lord but he is believed 10 have spent his life as
a travelling missionary and to have suffered
martyrdom in Achaia about 20 A. D.
st. Andrew has been regarded, from time i'm
memorial as the patron saint Of Scotland, and
his day, the 30th of November, is favorite oc-
casion OF national and social reunion, amid
Scotchmen residing in England and other places
abroad.
